Long-Term Partnership

The Gulshan Grover & Sharat Saxena partnership

After 8 years apart, they came back together for Boyss Toh Boyss Hain (2013). Their work runs across 4 decades of Hindi cinema. They didn't share a set between 2005 and 2013.

From Inaam Dus Hazaar (1987) to Boyss Toh Boyss Hain (2013). It started with Inaam Dus Hazaar (1987).

The shape of the work

The 1980s belonged to Inaam Dus Hazaar; the 2010s to Boyss Toh Boyss Hain. Gulshan Grover acted in every film; Sharat Saxena acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

  • They first shared screen space in 'Inaam Dus Hazaar' (1987) because the director needed two bulky, menacing henchmen who could also deliver dialogue — and both were fresh enough to take the role for a fraction of what established villains charged.
  • In 'Banjaran' (1991), Grover played the loud, theatrical villain while Saxena played the quiet, coiled enforcer. Their scenes worked because Saxena’s stillness made Grover’s outbursts land harder — one set the rhythm, the other provided the punch.
  • Despite sharing three films, the two never became friends off-screen. Saxena once told a trade journalist that they'd meet on set, do their scenes, and go home — no phone calls, no dinners. It was strictly professional.
  • Their third and final film together, 'Boyss Toh Boyss Hain' (2013), was a low-budget sex comedy that directly inspired a wave of similar 'college horny' films on OTT platforms a decade later — though neither actor has ever claimed credit for that legacy.
  • Gulshan Grover once said in a 2014 interview: 'Sharat and I never had a single argument on set. We just knew our lanes — he would hold the frame, I would color it.'
